3D Animation - A Case Study in Success

There was a time when animators did all their work by hand and video editing equipment cost thousands - or even hundreds of thousands - of dollars. Today it is just a matter of following instructions and using something as readily available as 3D graphic video editing software that is cheap enough to have on your home computer.

The 3D animation industry has expanded so much that there are schools devoted to studying for a 3D animation career. If you have a creative spirit, an artistic eye, and you are excited about learning the latest in digital video editing and 3D graphic software technology, this career track is for you.

Learning the Craft - 3D Animation Schools

You won't be able to learn everything you need to know by taking a single 3D animation course. The animation field is very complex. The job of good 3D animation schools is to prepare you for a rewarding 3D animation career.

You'll learn how computer animation works, the basics of digital graphics, the history of animation, applications of 2D and 3D animation, as well as the operation of the best video editing software. When you're done, you'll be ready to take your place in the 3D animation jobs market.
